Chapter 4: Blessings and Misfortunes

Now. Everyone heard Su Yuan's urgent report, and only then did they know that the eldest master had caused a big event.

After the ceremony, the old lady signaled for the subordinates to retreat, and she wanted the girls to avoid it, but everyone was unwilling. So, the whole family is there.

When she learned that Su Yuan was going to report about the eldest master, the little aunt rushed forward and begged him to be more detailed with tears streaming down her face.

So, Su Yuan said: "In the past six months, the bloody cases of foreign religion have occurred one after another, and the court has been appeased in many ways, and there have been obvious achievements. Four or five of the ten cases were sponsored by the eldest lord of the in-laws, which was also appropriate, but the foreigners refused to be spared, and wrote to our government for protection, and then put pressure on them, and some adults in the court took advantage of the situation to impeach. It is nothing more than that it is the host of foreign teaching plans, and someone has embezzled the money. Not to mention the compensation to foreign foreigners, some people in our court have made a fortune because of misfortunes, and some people have collected a lot of money in their private pockets. Therefore, the emperor and the queen mother were furious, so they dealt with it ruthlessly. ”

The old lady was shocked when everyone heard this.

Zhuang Pu was a little dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Our house also contributed money to this, how can it become our mansion master to embezzle money?" Isn't this kind of treatment chilling inward? He will be in trouble in the future, who wants to come forward? It is thanks to our lord that he is loyal and has the courage to dedicate. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were really confused, and they didn't know who was listening to the impeachment, so they handled it overnight and didn't ask to understand clearly. ”

After listening to Zhuang Qin, he scolded Zhuang Pu fiercely: "How can you have the right to speak!" Shut up! ”

Zhuang Pu snorted: "Although the country is good, moths are always there, the so-called ants and rotten trees can't be supported, and a mouse feces spoils a pot of porridge." The lord doesn't dare to say it, I don't have any official position, I'm a civilian, why can't I say it? Because if I say a few words, I will be punished with death? Hmph, that's ridiculous. ”

Zhuang Qin angrily pointed at Zhuang Pu, stopped him again and again, and scolded him for not knowing the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and the son of a mixed animal.

Su Yuan knew Zhuang Pu's temperament, which would be at the banquet in Beifu and received it, but now listening to this banquet, he couldn't help but be angry, and said: "As my cousin said, the common people want to rise up when they see this? Do you want to reverse the inside or the outside? ”

Zhuang Pu sneered: "The national site is unstable, how can the people's hearts be determined?" Dynasties and dynasties, you still don't know the way you have come? ”

Zhuang Pu threw off his sleeves and went out after speaking, he didn't pay attention to his father Zhuang Qin at all, and he didn't give etiquette when he left. Dumbfounded.

The county lord was afraid that Zhuang Pu would have trouble, so he chased out a few steps, but he couldn't catch up, so he asked the people outside to chase him. The old lady sighed, "It's messy enough, let him be." So the people were at peace.

Su Yuan said again: "I, Amma, said that it is not only the matter of embezzling money, but now there are many bloody cases in the north. Two days ago, there was information from the north that the DPRK and China had sent people to Pingping, but before they arrived, news came from there again, reporting that countless people had been killed or wounded. I can't complain about the anger of the saint and the queen mother. Besides, didn't the eldest master of the in-laws just come back from the north? I'm afraid that the Holy Will will blame him for not doing enough things, and leaving his tail behind. If this is the case, it is the official errand pool in front, and some people use the topic to play and make a name for handling it indiscriminately. ”

Zhuang Qin hurriedly said: "Then you Ama and several princes know!" Did you tell the Queen Mother? ”

Su Yuan shook his head.

Zhuang Qin panicked, went to pull the fourth master Zhuang Yao, and said: "Let's go to the palace, it's not good if it's late!" ”

Su Yuan stopped: "Uncle, slow down." Now don't say that the palace can't speak, even the foreigners run close to those people, and the foreigners themselves are useless. I, Amma, said that when I go to court tomorrow, I will look at the direction of the wind first, and it has not reached the point of seriousness. So let me let me know, lest the house be in chaos and cause trouble. ”

After listening, the old lady said to everyone: "They all stood up, and the people from several prefectures stayed well." Don't get into trouble with Dongfu, take care of your own mouths and legs. By the way, Pu'er, it's good to get someone to watch it quickly! ”

In this regard, he sent someone to watch Zhuang Pu. After Su Yuan finished the report, he went back to his house overnight and didn't mention it. Everyone in the house was worried and talked for a while, and at night, the old lady ordered them to go back to the house to rest.

Next.

The bride should worship the ancestral shrine and celebrate the awakening ceremony, because of the big man's business, this series of faΓ§ade etiquette is exempted.

In the morning, the sky was slightly bright, Zhuang Lu, Zhuang Qin, and Zhuang Yao came to Shouzhongju first to ask for comfort, and the housekeeper came after rushing to report that the prince of the palace and several relatives of the emperor had negotiated and spoken, and they were going to deliver a message to the court today. The old lady and the others asked the housekeeper to stare at it again. The housekeeper went, and the daughters-in-law and girls from all the provinces came one after another to ask for peace, and the old ladies were all dismissed, so that everyone did not have to come in, and let them all be in their respective courtyards.

And wait for the news of the big man.

Until noon.

The housekeeper sent Si'er back to reply, and Si'er said: "There are many people in it, and several adults have been convicted of capital crimes, and there are dozens of demoted officials. Our lord is safe for the time being, and he didn't pull it out. And the steward said, Let me get some money. ”

When the old lady and her sons heard this, their faces were as frightened as dust.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Take the silver! Take the silver! ”

Zhuang Lu took care of the money, and the old lady let him speak, and he immediately went out to do it himself. When he returned to Beifu, he told the Cao family about the situation, the Cao family felt sorry for the money, and urged Zhuang Lu to take less, and generally said that there was not much left in the house, Zhuang Lu was upset, and when he heard Cao's muttering, he was even more annoyed, and he still signed a few words to take the silver slip and handed it over to the people to send to the merchant to cash.

This is appropriate, and Zhuang Lu rushed back to Shouzhongju to accompany him.

In the afternoon, the housekeeper came back, and said happily that there were several princes who had taken care of them, and sent the silver in, and the name of the eldest lord on the case was erased, and he could be put back in a few days. In a day, there were ups and downs, and everyone was restless. Now when they heard the results, they were all very happy, so the old lady ordered: "Notify all the prefectures and kowtow to the ancestors!" ”

Ordered to go down, and the people notified the prefectures one by one, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the old and young servants of the whole family gathered in the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestors and burn incense. In the evening, the eldest old man Zhuang Xi was put back.

Zhuang Xi rushed to Shouzhongju to kowtow to the old lady first, and said: "The official position is thrown away, and it is only demoted by two levels." Now he is still respected by the Lord and the Queen Mother, and he is given a chance to make meritorious contributions. Let him go to the north overnight to quell the chaos case. ”

The old lady helped Zhuang Xi up with tears in her eyes and said, "You must handle it with all your heart this time, don't be careless." The people of this whole house, one is prosperous, and one is lost, you know how powerful. ”

Zhuang Xi nodded, kowtowed fiercely, and swore: "If this case is not settled, I will die in the north and will never insult the lintel of my Zhuangfu." ”

Zhuang Xi didn't even go back to the East Mansion, so he asked his subordinates to rush to explain it to the Qin family and the others, and then packed his luggage to give it to him. In this regard, Zhuang Xi rushed to the north overnight.

About seven or eight days later, Zhuang Xi sent back a letter to report that he was safe, and roughly briefly described the handling of the case and other matters. Then, down to November, everyone in the Zhuang Mansion was in panic all day long, worrying day by day. It was not until the day of the winter solstice that the court loosened its grip on the foreign education plan and calmed down, but it was said that the anti-religious people and others also gathered to revolt, and the news was different day by day, and the people of Zhuangfu were restless day and night with the ups and downs of the news.

By the beginning of December, the DPRK issued edicts one after another, and the anti-religion was suppressed. On December 11, another edict was issued confirming the collapse of the anti-religion and the number of people to be punished. At the same time, the DPRK and the Central Committee proposed to reward the meritorious officials and generals with an edict.

At this point, there was an uproar, and the dust of the bloody case of foreign religion in turmoil across the country had settled.

The edict was transmitted to the Zhuang Mansion, and the Zhuang Mansion arranged a banquet to celebrate. The old lady appointed a table in Dongfu and set a table on December 20.

Zhu'er came to Jinghua Xie for the first time to inform Yu Li, and Yu Qi listened to it, so he was naturally happy. Thinking about it again, Huiyuan has been deeply implicated by the eldest master since she got married, and she hasn't talked to her much. At this time, it's time to get closer to each other.

When the edict came in mid-December, Mr. Yao quietly came to Jinghua Xie to see Yu Qi.

Mr. Yao first learned that the eldest master was implicated in the foreign sect blood case, and he was quite worried about her. Come to Jinghua to thank that time, Yu Qi ordered Sanxi to guard the courtyard gate.

Mr. Yao said to her, "I was worried that the girl would be implicated in this. I've been inquiring in the past few months, and your Master Zhuomen is suspected of being involved in the foreigner's matter. Now, Master Zhuang is fine, presumably there must be someone behind him. ”

Yu Qi knew that someone was protecting, and the mansion didn't shy away from it, but wasn't it the protection of the people in Suyuan's palace?

Mr. Yao said, "In this case, it's time to ask your grandmother." The emperor can exonerate him, and he can also overturn the case for your parents. This is a good time to ask, girl, don't miss it. ”

Yu Qi's face responded, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Mr. Yao didn't say much when he saw her, thinking that her body was bad again, so he helped take the pulse, and said, "I'm fine, but I want to ask clearly, and no one may be willing to tell the whole truth." Don't you understand, sir, how clever he is? During the time I entered this house, I saw their behavior and behavior, and I also found out many truths and falsehoods. It's all a bunch of people who don't see the same thing. ”

After hearing this, Mr. Yao sighed and said, "I'm exhausted, and I see that the girl has made up her own mind." ”

Originally, Yu Qi wanted to inform Mr. Yao about the secret passage, but when he finally heard Mr. Yao's words, he felt that he didn't want to manage his own affairs. The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. Waiting for Mr. Yao to leave, Sanxi asked Yu Qi: "Why didn't the girl tell Mr. about it?" ”

Yu Qi said: "A few days ago, I thought that if I told Mr., Mr. can give a way. At present, Mr. is more anxious than us to handle the Zhuang Mansion, and he has told him more, doesn't he force us to do it quickly? Besides, I don't know how many secrets are hidden in the things inside. I want to figure it out and then decide, kill the pigs slowly, and end them one by one, not afraid of them running. ”

Sanxi said: "That girl doesn't want Huiyuan to come back early?" ”

Yu Qi said: "Come back? Can't come back! ”

Huiyuan has been married for the past few days, and she obviously has the intention to alienate them. Not to mention Huiyuan's sincere betrayal, just the current scene, it is not as deep and meaningful as before. If you really have a heart, you want to take advantage of the relationship of Huiyuan to quickly get out of the evil deeds of the Zhuangfu. Huiyuan is cold today, no wonder Yu Qi thinks so.

Zi Su said: "These days, you go to ask for peace, and the eldest grandmother has never said a word to you." This person turns his face more than a book, and I'll be a human being as soon as possible, hum, I really know people and don't know their hearts! ”

Yu Qi smiled: "Maybe she has something difficult to say." ”

Yu Qi is willing to think like this, or he can make himself feel more relieved.

Zi Su said: "How difficult are the words, there is not even a word of greeting?" Sanxi also went out of his way to talk to her, and when I saw it in the courtyard, she didn't even raise her eyes. Don't blame Sanxi for this, I saw it with my own eyes, Sanxi didn't say half a word to me. ”

Yu Qi smiled after hearing this. I thought to myself, isn't it that people are weak and people's hearts are cold?

When Zhu'er came to inform Dongfu to set up a banquet on this day, Yu Qi remembered these words with them that day, and then remembered that he should go to win over Huiyuan.

However, before the feast was opened, a strange thing came first.
